Abstract

Key findings

  • The α-Fe2O3/polyaniline nanocomposite catalyst significantly increases the power density of the microbial fuel cell.
  • The nanocomposite catalyst also enhances the removal of organic pollutants from the wastewater.
  • The electrochemical performance of the microbial fuel cell is improved due to the increased surface area and conductivity of the nanocomposite catalyst.
